Now You are talking about my old stomping ground. The drug store on Sedgewick & Kingsbridge was Beane's. The Florest shop was owned by the Kanganis family. There was Tower Deil, between Webb & University. Next to the deli, was my Optomertrist's Office. Next was Shirley's toy store. I also remember Forde's Bar across the street from the Armory. There was a Vet. On Kingsbridge near Jerome. We played softball on black top in the yard of PS 86. I believe the furier was Eisenstein or something like that.

MORE TO COME...

I’m a bit foggy about the A&P, I thought there was an Assosiated supermarket on Kingsbridge. I know there was a Jewish style store on Kingsbridge and two bars,, lol, don’t ask me why I know there were two bars around there.I think near Jerome was a Greek style restaurant. I just talked to someone I know that lived on Morris between Kingsbirdge and 194st and he says the candy store didn’t always have the comics he wanted and he had to go to 188st for his comics. As more and more people describe things about the Bronx the more I remember myself, I forgot a lot of things.

As far as your other post about the grocery store across from St. James park, I don’t know of this store. I might have went into this store to buy a soda while playing in the park but I can’t remember details of the store like the owners and such.

Was the post office near this grocery store or was the post office closer to Fordham Rd.?
